Rev. Wright got a standing ovation at the National Press Club after his speech today

[housewolf]

I've seen a number of these National Press Club luncheon speeches and I've NEVER seen that happen before... Now the moderator said that there were a lot of guests at the luncheon today and the press was mainly in the balcony but still... this is a raucus, Wright-loving audiene.

I feel like I'm in Wonderland, in the midst of a severe case of cognative dissonance... I just don't get what's going on about this guy AT ALL!

1. It was part of a divinity conference of black church leaders held there

2. So do they think he hurt Obama's campaign ?!?!?!?!?!?!

I got up and flip on Cspan as I got ready for work. What an UPLIFTING speech he gave.
I just love to hear truth,, especially with a little humor thrown in.

I would vote for Rev Wright over Obama. and I'm a white lady.

I wish more Religious people were like Rev. Wright. Maybe we would have a more peaceful country.

7. And he got a standing ovating from the netroots too.

That's about it, though. Working class voters in the swing states that we need to win are getting turned off by Obama and his pastor by the minute....

[LakeSamish706]

12. Uhh.. No actually they are getting turned off by the lying Clinton that is running in this election.
